Answer
None of those are high end speakers. But I am glad to help you find a high end speaker, so I have a few suggestions for you to consider.
First off, I'll say that I owned the Bose Companion 5 system... and it's the last Bose product I ever bought. It was junk. So is the rest of their gear. I replaced them with a $200 pair of AudioEngine A2 speakers and they completely decimate the Bose speakers in every way, for half the price. That brings me to my first suggestion...
1. Something from AudioEngine. From their smallest $200 A2 speakers to their $325 A5 speakers and $350 S8 subwoofer, anything from AudioEngine is a sure-fire hit in the high-end range at a good price. Their products have real wooden cabinets (Unlike the plastic of Bose and Logitech) that are hand assembled here in the USA. Also, they have great amplifiers built in, and kevlar woofers. I love my A2s, and they're smaller than they really sound. Nobody expects such great sound from these... but they deliver anyways. http://reviews.cnet.com/pc-speakers/audioengine-a5b-black/4505-3179_7-33714389.html?tag=mncol;lst;1
2. M-Audio: M-Audio is a studio brand name that manufactures tons of ultra-high end studio monitors that are used in many studios around the world. They also have a line of consumer-grade studio monitors that range from their smaller AV20s to the larger AV40s. They are also made of real wood cabinets. (Just to note, if the speaker is made of plastic, it's surely not high end. Bose and logitech, and 99% of computer speakers are plastic.) http://reviews.cnet.com/separate-speakers/m-audio-studiophile-av/4505-7869_7-32381162.html
3. Well, I'm not sure what else to recommend... computer speakers normally aren't any good. AudioEngine and M-Audio are the only two computer speakers I would ever recommend actually.
If you go with AudioEngine, get their subwoofer. Because you want to listen to metal, the subwoofer is a must! It will surely cost alot, but it's worth it 100%. Also, make sure you have a good sound card, neither M-Audio nor AudioEngine will sound any good without a decent sound card that at least has EQ settings. Creative sells decent sound cards at good prices, so check them out.
Finally, if you get M-Audio, look into getting a powered subwoofer with them too. They don't make any budget subs, but you could match them with a sub from another brand.
AudioEngine's A5, and M-Audio's AV40 are the two biggest speakers I recommended here. AudioEngine's A5 has bigger woofers and more powerful amps than the A2, so it might be better in your case. M-Audio's AV40 also has bigger woofers than it's smaller models, so that would be good too. Generally, whichever brand you go with, get their largest speakers if you want the most bass response.
I know that AudioEngine and M-Audio's speakers don't come with subs right off the bat, but they sound better than everything else out there in the computer market. I ditched my $400 Compaion 5 system for a $200 A2 system from AudioEngine... that says it there. Bose is junk. Hopefully I saved you some money there.
Good luck

Help making a Speaker system?
No
I want to make a speaker system with 2 15" drivers at least. I would like the smallest cabinet size and the recommended high frequency and mid range driver numbers (how many of them and what size) thanks.

Speaker building is a fun hobby but it can take years to get really good at it. There are books http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=500-035 on the subject and lots of web sites and forums. Start with the AVS Forum here... http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=155 You can see what projects others are doing there and get lots of help.
Linkwitzlab has lots of DIY projects... http://www.linkwitzlab.com/DIY%20products.htm and just a lot of good information... http://www.linkwitzlab.com/frontiers.htm
You can get ideas from the Parts Express showcase... http://www.parts-express.com/project%2Dgallery/speaker%2Dprojects/
If you get good at it, you can make better speakers than most of the products available to buy. Manufacturers have too many limitations whereas DIY is only limited by resources. You can read every article ever written in the Journals of the Audio Engineering Society and utilize every known technology in your design. Manufacturers can not do this without paying royalties.
have fun,
